““It is our belief that law enforcement chose Peterson to set the bonds in this case because of his lack of legal training and his willingness to ignore the requirements that each case be given individual consideration,” Broden said.”
I guess in Texas, you don’t have to have any legal training to be a judge. Maybe instead of a retired state trooper, they should have elected a bouncer from a nudie bar. He could have “related” better to the bikers.
If the bouncer had educated himself on basic principles related to the setting of bonds and upheld the concept of an independent judiciary, he's more fit for the job than the "good old boy" who has the job.
Only for Kangaroo Court Justices of the Peace.
Spoken like a true statist. I guess you and some others don’t realize that the law was not made for professionals.
